All songwriters from the storytelling Folk and Operatic to Scott Joplin onwards.
But mostly songwriters who take you somewhere emotionally, spiritually or fantastically..whether they use Poet Laureate style language or simple local tongue.
Oh Yeah...and Alan Williamson who unknowingly (or perhaps otherwise) is probably responsible for everything that I'm doing musically at this moment in time.

QUOTES & COMMENTS
BLUESBUNNY
...Once again we have to remark that he writes a mean song and that his voice keeps getting better...
...he shows more than a bit of class and there is no doubting the passion he has for music....
...his honest, sometimes raw, lyrics and intense delivery make this a recommendation for those of us who have lived in the shadows and in the light...
...a Bluesbunny girl knows a good song when she hears one...
SCOTTISH DAILY RECORD
...This is one singer/songwriter to watch in 2008...
FATEA
...Murray has a distinctive and strong voice, one that should stand him in good stead, both live and recorded. "Unaffected" is a simple and powerful album...
LIVING ATHIEST
..Simple and yet devastatingly effective. Isn't that the point?
BURNSONG
..They were all extremely impressed by the range and depth of the songs and in particular by how much heart and soul had gone into their creation...

Alexander Murray is a singer/songwriter who writes and performs from the heart. His songs are of varying styles and he prefers to let the music dictate rather than falling into the genre trap. After fronting several different bands over the years, he now only writes and performs on a solo basis.
The last months have seen a series of successful gigs and have culminated in the release of his debut album 'Unaffected'. The album is a presentation of songs stripped to the bare bones and is without the sometimes unnecessary over-production that can be responsible for masking the true nature of the song.
Please take the time to enjoy the tracks posted. Individual songs are now available for download. If you like what you hear and would like to order a hardcopy of the entire CD, please click on the CD Baby link opposite and follow the instructions.

A very warm 'Welcome Aboard' Alexander. 'I'm Not Made Of Stone' is just beautiful. Not many songs leave me speechless, but you managed it with that one. ;0) Your music is wondeful.
